BETWEEN US GIRLS
BY TAXIE KUSUNOKI
   Woman are wiser than
men   because they know
less and understand more.
----James Stephens
WE RUB IT IN
   You’ve no doubt noticed
the commendable job of
ground beautifying done by
our MP friends.   Bouquets
to them!   Quite frankly,
the following items are
designed to knock the cen-
ter's citizenry out of
their "lethargic inertia"
(wow!) and into doing some-
thing about it.
THAT FENCE
   Prob'ly what first hits
the eye of the onlooker are
those apple-green fence
posts that surround the
MP's quarters.   That par-
ticular color  "was Karpen's
idea," smiles Captain John
P. Karpen, commanding of-
ficer with the 335th Escort
Guard company, and a former
superintendent of education.
"We don't mind being fenced
in, you see," he chuckles.
FLORA AND CACTACEAE
   Those neat walks that
appear to be lined with
"shrubbery" are lined all
right, but with the ordinary
species of cactus (cacti?)
that you find wherever you
turn in Colorado.  The sold-
ier-landscapers brought out
the green in the plants
with the use of white rock
as well as bricks for the
walks and borders.
WE LIKE IT
   We can't avoid mention-
ing the rustic appearance
improvised by the soldiers
for their mess hall tables
end benches. The effect
they obtained by burning
into and then varnishing
the wood is Something!
MISC
   After patiently clear-
ing what used to be a messy
catch-all for all kinds of
debris, the MPs have made
for themselves a swell rec-
reation field, with volley-
ball court and baseball dia-
mond.
   Not a hundred feet away
is their official clothes-
line and attached clothes-
pin box. Oh yes, they do
their own!
